What it is
Wrinkles are folds in the skin that stay visible at rest. Fine lines are shallower and mark the surface, mainly around the eyes and mouth. The two call for different things: a set wrinkle is filled, a fine line is treated by improving skin quality.
Why it happens
- Falling collagen and elastin, which starts around the age of 25 and speeds up after the menopause
- Repeated facial movement, which deepens the same creases over and over
- Sun exposure, the leading cause of ageing in facial skin
- Smoking, poor sleep and dehydration, which make the relief more pronounced
- Loss of deep volume, which lets the skin fall and fold
What we can offer
Hyaluronic acid
Fills a set wrinkle or restores volume in the mid-face, which softens the crease. The area injected depends on each face.
Skin booster
Hydrates the skin deeply, which usually softens surface lines.
Microneedling
Stimulates collagen production to smooth fine lines and refine skin texture.
Bio-remodelling
Improves firmness and elasticity without adding volume.
Chemical peel
Removes the surface layers of the skin, which can soften fine lines.
Radiofrequency
Heats the dermis to tighten the fibres and improve firmness.
What aesthetic medicine cannot do
Aesthetic medicine does not erase a deep wrinkle, it softens it. Significant sagging is a surgical matter, not one for the treatments offered at the practice. Results depend on your skin, your age and your lifestyle, and they need regular maintenance.
Frequently asked questions
Should I wait until I have wrinkles before booking?
No. Skin that is looked after usually ages more slowly than skin left alone. The consultation is there to take stock and decide what is worth doing at this point, including doing nothing.
How long does the result last?
It depends on the treatment. Hyaluronic acid filling usually lasts 6 to 18 months depending on the area. Treatments that work on skin quality need repeated sessions, then maintenance.
Can several treatments be combined?
Yes, and they often are. A plan is built over several months, starting with what bothers you most. There is no need to do everything at once.
Is the result visible straight away?
Filling is visible from the session itself, with possible swelling in the first few days. Treatments that stimulate collagen take 4 to 8 weeks to show.
